cd trekker is not found on my terminal

I've installed everything and made a trekker file on my desktop, but in my terminal when I type in cd trekker "-bash: cd: trekker: No such file or directory". What does this mean and what am I doing wrong?

Hi there! It means pretty much exactly what it says. It can't find the file/folder inside your current working directory. But since you put this on the desktop make sure that you navigate to your desktop folder inside the terminal first and then give it a shot! Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I am so new at this and eager to learn..How can navigate to my desktop folder inside the terminal? Probably super simple, but I've never done this. Thanks!

It's impossible to say because I don't know what your current working directory is, and I can't see your file system. However, Treehouse has an excellent course on using the terminal and command line. I might suggest that you pause what you're doing and go look at this course. You'll be a pro in no time!

Happy coding! :sparkles:

I'd suggest at least doing the sections up to and including "Moving Around the Filesystem" :smiley:
